What type of power connector do SATA drives use?!?! molex?!?!? would a power supply that comes with a case be sata ready?!?!
 
they use regular power connectors. My seagate came with an extra adpator that connects from the molex connecter to the harddrive my my WD raptor connects straight to the molex
 
SATA drives use their own power connector that is stemmed off from a molex. Also, the power supply probobly does not come with the connectors unless it states it does.

Normal power supllies wont have those as a standard option usually.
 
Thanks... well hehe i had found it on google before you guys replied.. Sorry i should get into the habit of googling things first.. then asking... but thanks anyway
 
Ok i'm having a real hard time figuring out what kind of power connector the Maxtor 60GB SATA Hard Drive, Model 6Y060M0, uses. anyone own this one and can tell me?.. i can't even find it on maxtors site
thanks
